Description

One of the city's largest parks, Brackenridge offers more family-oriented attractions and outdoor activities than one day can accommodate. Besides the popular San Antonio Zoo and Acquarium, there are jog, hike, and bike trails, picnic areas, the Japanese Tea Gardens, an outdoor theater, and a municipal golf course and driving range. If transportation is more your speed, opt for a ride on the San Antonio Zoo Eagle, a popular miniature train that runs through a 2.5-mile stretch of the park. The train runs every 20 minutes from 9:45am to 5:30pm, daily. For water travel, cruise around the upper part of the San Antonio River in paddleboats!
